I Couldn't Fix it, so … I Fixed it!
Sometimes, a damaged or less than perfect photograph, one that cannot, either, in its original, or, its restored condition, meet publisher standards might still be made marketable.
The image below began as a Magic Lantern slide/transparency, an "almost-but-not-quite" candidate for marketability as a photograph. But this is the digital age and there are other options.
One such option I've come to like a lot, is the transformation of a photograph to a digital image that looks like an ENGRAVING
a print made from an engraved plate, block, or other surface resulting from the process or art of cutting or carving a design on a hard surface, esp. so as to make a print
Not every less-than-perfect, original photograph can be "saved" but those with a fair amount of detail, good exposure and composition, and a lot of interest is worth a shot.
Here is such an example.
In the original, the detail in the statue was hopelessly lost due to overexposure; by creating the outline-edges, I was able to generate enough to "fix" the overall image and market it as an "engraving."
